Played this game once before bed. Was wired for hours after it. Bad idea. Great game though.

Definitely interested. Looks cool.

Tried it at launch. Wasn't for me but great to see its found an audience.

Put a lot of hours into this on Stadia with friends. It's a great game and delighted it's open to everyone now. Still play it on Games Night regularly.

It's a great idea and good to have more handheld options in the market. Personally I think it looks too bulky. A hardware revision after a year or 2 could really slim it down and make it more appealing to me.

As it is my backlog is big enough so I'll pass on this anyways.

Streaming games is a great alternative for some people. Looking forward to see where Netflix head with this. More ways to play is good.

It's great on phone. Don't feel the need to get it on Switch.

@Lordplops apologies. I didn't read it that way. Sorry!

@Lordplops why the playstation hate?

@Brummieendo90 we get it, you don't like the Republic of Ireland. Is the forum of a Nintendo fansite the place to be having these discussions though? This is just an article about an interesting feature in a game.

@Andy_Witmyer There are certain parts of the country where that is still the case. The Gaeltacht areas as they are known. But for all the rest of the country road signs are done in English and Irish.

After years of learning Irish in school and being decent at it I wish I had a better grasp of it now. I guess just lack of everyday use causes it to fade. Recently started brushing up on it again. It's amazing how quickly it can come back to you. I love that we have our own language. Hope we can keep it alive.

Not for me but I can see it having a market. Will keep an eye on how it is received and reviewed for sure. But right now I have just about enough time to play what I already have.

@anoyonmus Stadia all the way for this one.

@BloodNinja I will never financially recover from this haha.

@BloodNinja I've already agreed this was probably a bad example. What more would you like me to say?

@BloodNinja again as I said in my second comment, I'm not really comparing those 2 specifically. Just saying that I spend money on some things others might consider mad. And vice versa. People have different priorities. Each to their own. My first example was probably poor though.

Ordered zelda and link one just there from a different website. Arriving next week. Expensive but good day.

Mario Golf, Knockout City and Red Dead 2.

@Xeacons I'm not comparing the 2, I'm just saying some people spend money on things that others can't understand why they would do that. That's all.

@TheAwesomeBowser These same people probably can't understand why someone would pay thousands for a gaming PC. Each to their own.

Really hope they get stuck with a load of these. Only an idiot would pay that.

Thankfully my 2017 Switch is still in good health. Can hold onto my money for now.

@Jackpaza0508 this was my first thought too. People seem to have money burning a whole in their pocket they can't wait to get rid of. I'd rather spend money on games than consoles. I approve this news. Love my Switch.

Enjoying Mario Golf so far. Multiplayer wih friends is where it shines.

Must boot this up again.

@SortingHat If I want something this size there's not much alternative sadly. But I guess putting that €100 towards 4 Zelda amiibo might be better spent.

Edit: bit harsh calling people idiots for wanting a thing. You own one of these yourself.

I have the amiibos but dam these would all look cool in my Games Room. Tempting.

Glad to see any Tekken character in the roster. My fav fighting series.

Fantastic game but I don't play it enough anymore to be good at this level. Plus I'm not Stateside.
I enjoyed my 100 hours or so with the game but at this point I'll be waiting for Splat3.

@theflowergarden the fact that all these micro transactions are purely for cosmetic items though surely counts for something. I can buy this game for €20 and never pay another cent again for it. Every purchase is optional and offers no effects on gameplay to someone else. It's purely to jazz up their avatar if they want to.
I can understand some of the hate certain micro transactions get (loot box type) but these are nothing like that.

Heard there was serious framerate issues with Switch version too when things get busy on screen. Might try it out on GamePass sometime in the future.

@Phostachio Why should it be F2P though? This is what I can never understand. Not having a go at you, I just don't understand why a particular game like this should be free.

@Phostachio each to their own. I'd rather pay €20 to have fun now than wait 5 years to save €20.

@Phostachio it was a long time before Rocket League went F2P. It released in 2015. Only went F2P last year.

This will please some people who were panicing about where the game was going probably. I was just enjoying throwing my balls at peoples face............what?!

@Pandy hopefully.

Love the game but don't see a need for me to get the DLC for a few costumes and difficulty level. More story would have been a bigger incentive for me.

3 games for me:
Guardians of the Galaxy, Worms Rumble and Metroid.

Metroid, Worms and Guardians of the Galaxy were the big ones for me. Day one purchases.

@sunkenFool would much rather if the Irish site was connected to an EU page rather than .co.uk page.

I'm on the last section of the game. I'd only be interested in DLC if there was more story.

Day One purchase. This game wasn't on my radar since I didn't think it would be on a platform I have. Great news, I can get excited for it now.
@Pak-Man nope, if you've got decent Internet you'll be fine.

"You've won a TV and VHS combi unit. Amaze your neighbours with this top of the range piece of electronic equipment".

Expectations are low. Hoping its good but not expecting it to be.

Loved the original but it got too tricky towards the end and I never finished it. Would definitely give a new one a go.

Loved the FIFA games in the first 2 years of Switch. I've since found other ways to play the full version games portably so I've jumped ship though.

Me as a 10 year old: I want to get those trading cards cos its fun to collect and trade them.
10 year olds today: this trading card will likely increase in value in years to come. Better invest.

Expectations are rock bottom for this. There's been so many poor Directs in the last 2 years I'm not expecting any different this time. Will watch it for sure though.
